Go to Europe

Rick Steves' Rick Steves' Easy Access Europe: A Guide for Travelers with Limited Mobility
by Ken Plattner & Rick Steves

From the Rick Steves' series.

Until now Rick Steves' books have focused on economic accessibility -- travel needn't be a rich person's hobby. With this book, he broadens that passion to include physical accessibility.

Maybe you're a wheelchair user with an adventurous spirit. Or perhaps you're traveling with a partner who has limited mobility. Or you simply don't get around as well as you used to, but your sense of wanderlust refuses that rocking chair. This book is written for you.

Rick has teamed up with a committed band of researchers -- led by Dr. Ken Plattner -- who care about those who face extra physical challenges. Together they've written this book to help guide slow walkers and wheelchair users through Europe.

This book covers a handful of Europe's best and most accessible destinations: London, Paris, Bruges, Amsterdam, and Germany's Rhine River. Using core material from Rick's existing guidebooks, Ken and his helpers researched each location a second time for accessibility.

As an extra bonus, the print is larger than in Rick's other guidebooks. Chapters cover:

  • Introduction: Tips on how to get the most out of this book; money, customs and red tape; transportation, eating and sleeping in Europe.
  • Accessibility Resources and Tips: Planning your trip; getting to Europe; finding accessible tours; accommodations, parking, wheelchairs, restrooms; overcoming challenges.
  • Britain: London sights, restaurants, accommodations and travel tips; Westminster "roll or stroll" self-guided tour.
  • France: Paris sights, restaurants, accommodations and travel tips; Historic Paris and Champs-Elysees "roll or stroll" self-guided tours.
  • Belgium: Bruges sights, restaurants, accommodations and travel tips; Bruges "roll or stroll" self-guided tour.
  • Netherlands: Amsterdam sights, restaurants, accommodations and travel tips; Amsterdam "roll or stroll" self-guided tour.
  • Germany: Rhine Valley sights, restaurants, accommodations and travel tips.

500 pages, approx. 90 maps.
